Looking at getting rid of my Escort van soon in favour of something a bit more enjoyable to drive. Been trying to look past the usual Fiestas and Pumas I buy and I quite fancy a Mondeo ST24/ST200.
I have a budget of around £1000 - £1500, which I know won't get me a mint low milage example but I don't mind that so much as I'll have my XR2i on the roaad eventually as my weekend toy

Any advice anyone can give me on the ST? Any common problems to look out for or things to avoid? Is there a big difference between the ST24 and the ST200?
